	==~~Design~~==		==Description==
	Unlike the [[Persian Shamshir\|Persian scimitars]] that were widespread in [[Italy]] during the [[Renaissance]] era, the scimitars obtained by the pirate Edward Kenway boasted a far thinner blade with a tapered appearance. As scimitars, their blades were sharp on only one edge and curved. Despite this, the curves were more moderate than that of the Italian Persian scimitars. Peculiar to these swords were their slate blue color, as though the swords were either forged from a metal of that color or corroded. Their crossguards were straight, with centerpieces that were elegantly-patterned and shaped like a diamond and ends that resembled tiny stubs. Because they were of the same color as that of the blades and the hilts, which tapered mildly into the pommel that curved forward, the swords at a glance seemed to have been forged from entirely single bars of metal.
